St. Clair College’s volleyball teams both took home the win in their first playoff games of the year. 

Both the men’s and women’s teams crushed their opponents, not letting them win a single set during the game. 

The players said the men’s team is having one of their best seasons in a long time. 

“We had a really strong year with more wins than other team in men’s volleyball history,” said Jonah Certossi, a middle blocker for the men’s team. 

But it was not just the men’s team. 

“We have not gone 16 and 2 in a long time,” said Scott Clements, one of the assistant coaches for the women’s team. “That is our best season in many years.” 

Of course, playoffs bring a lot of pressure to the player. But Emma Clements, a setter for the women’s team, said they were able to step up and pull off the win. 

“I think going into playoffs, you never know what to expect,” said Emma Clements. “They definitely put a lot of pressure on us, but I think when we really had to we stepped up to that pressure.”
